serve_the_people Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 My Poem "The Stupid Wise Man" The young man was wise beyond his years But he kept all his ideas to himself His wisdom could have changed the world But he used it only to boost his own ego and self pleasure He lived in the world of his mind, and not the real world Nothing in his world actually happened It died having lived a meaningless life A selfish, meaningless life I must add His ideas returned to dust.....

Caldus Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 Wow that sounds a lot like me. But I have been 'not giving a **** mode' lately with people so I just voice opinions anyway. My roommate probably hates me now but I'd rather be hated for who I am then never speak. Excellent poem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadows Light Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 ROFLMAO... ohh Caldus... I just had to read this one when I saw the title.. "A stupid wise man" and your avatar responding.. I thought Ohhhh this will ellicit a chuckle.. . AYE.. and it did. The poem.. and your response. I've been feeling the same way lately.. I get on these jag's where I just sprinkle my pithy fairy dust and let it land where it sticks. LOL. Its kind of like gas... there's are just times that its just no good to keep it bottled up inside. You gotta let er rip. Whhhoops.. did I just say that? I did like the poem BTW.. very poignant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShySoul Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 The reason that change is so slow to occur is because people have convinced themselves its not worth trying for. We have great ideas, see ways to improve things, but remain silent. If we do that, then nothing will ever change and if anything things will get worse. But if we stand up for what we believe in and speak our minds, then things can happen. It may not be immediate. It may be an uphill struggle. But at least we will have tried. And trying is what matters most. Nice serve the people. I liked it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serve_the_people Posted January 21, 2006 Author Share Posted January 21, 2006 What does my poem have to do with farting? Start being mature. If you don't have a thoughtful comment to add, like shy soul added, then don't say anything at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadows Light Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 I beg your pardon and I didn't mean any disrepect. Your poem "was" thoughtful. I was responding to Caldus thoughts on speaking your mind. And how sometimes.. you should just "LET IT OUT" and speak your mind. I'm sorry if my analogy offended you. Forgive me for... thinking. Or for not thinking in the prescribed way. It was a good poem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
